turn the tables here. if Obama did the same thing, pulled something out of his pocket, and placed it on the podium. you would not be taking Obama's word for it that it wasn't notes. you'd be demanding CSI like enhancement of the video.

Simple solution: overhead camera shots of both debaters' podiums (podia?). Footage of shots would not be broadcasted during the debate. Only used for post-debate analysis. Also, full body frisks for earpieces, transceivers, and other electronic devices.

Antimatter:lennavan: Antimatter: Wow, a lot of deflection from the conservatives here.

What did he put on the podium, that's what we need to know. If it's notes, then he broke the rules and the press should grill his ass over it.

Where was Obama born? That's what we need to know. If he was born in Kenya, he is ineligible for president and the press should grill his ass over it.

Hawaii, see his long form and short form birth certificates.

There is actual video of Romney using the farking handkerchief. This is equivalent to actual video of Obama being pushed out of his mom's cooch with the state of Hawaii seal on the wall and surfers and volcanoes and shiat out the window in the background.

This is how stupid you sound. Please stop. I'm an Obama supporter and the conservatives are going to lump me in with idiots like you.

Wow. Whatever He pulled out of his pocket was closer to the color of his hand than the ha lie he wiped his nose with./Looked almost tan or a dull yellow and almost matches the hue of what was already on the podium.

Yes I would. There isn't a chance in hell I'm voting for Romney. It's a goddamn handkerchief. Not everyone is so blindly partisan.

Is it a ludicrous accusation? Sure. But, after 4 years of "HEZ A SECKRIT MUZLIM FROM KINYA!!! WHARZ THE BIRF SURTIFIKIT? WHARZ THE COLLIDGE TRANSCRIPTS?" I'm just going to accept the Republican philosophy of "if a lie feels like it should be true, it's not a lie."

WTFDYW:lennavan: No, subby I did not notice that because I saw Romney take notes many times. But even if the way you totally imagined the debate went were true, I fail to see how a handkerchief explains it.

Holy farking shiat you all need to drop this line of derp you're seriously as stupid as the far right derp right now.

The My Little Pony Killer:You know, of all the things to take offense at about this last debate, we focus on what Mitt put on the podium before it began rather than the lies he told during. He's nailed it, alright.

The handkerchief contained his notes and was rather obviously used as an alibi for later when he got caught.Who the hell takes a HEAVY handkerchief out of their pocket and tosses it on the podium as soon as they get there?When he tossed it onto the podium it landed like a deck of cards wrapped in .... a handkerchief.

Anyone else would have left it in their pocket , reached into their pocket when they "needed" it, wiped their face, blew their nose, whatever, then put it back in the pocket.Nobody puts a handkerchief out on the podium in advance.Unless they want to hide something in it.

There's another video that shows him going back to the podium later and collecting all his papers before he leaves.Not that it's particularly suspicious, but we can't leave our crib notes on the podium, now can we?

OMGWTFBBQ!! he kept his notes?!! What more proof do we need!!! He was responsible for 9/11, he bombed Oklahoma city, and planned the attack on Pearl Harbor Via Infinito has found the evidence!!

// zero took his notes with him as well, but moon-bats won't point out that tidbit.

alphalemming:One man on the stage was looking down at his podium all night. It wasn't Romney.

This isn't a "gotcha" for the left, it's a pathetic reach that only resounds in the echo chamber. Obama clearly didn't bring his A game and will bring it next time because his second term is riding on it.

cig-mkr:Let's see, I had to endure a campaign ad for Obama to see the video. I wonder if this could be bias in any way?

It's The Daily Kos. What did you expect. The terrible part is that too many people get their "news" and political inspiration only form partisan sites such as this. They don't see that nothing gets better for them, but they sure believe they feel happy for finding the one true political philosophy.
